Building A Bathroom In A Van | Shower and Toilet

#vanlife #rampromaster #vanconversion

Building a wet bath in my van was one of the most time consuming parts of the build. I knew I was going to want a shower and a toilet since I was going to be living in the van full time, so I set aside a decent amount of money for this portion of the conversion. I also wanted to make it look somewhat unique which ended up slightly backfiring on me, so you’ll have to watch to see how it went!

P.S. I have a feeling several people are going to leave the comment “Where do you poop?” “Where do you go #2?” “How do you shit?” Well, I use the restrooms at my friends places, at work, and at the gym most of the time. Unsurprisingly, most places of business have restrooms as well.

Since we didn’t cover any of the plumbing within this video, make sure to go check out our plumbing video here :

If I was to put all the time it took to complete the bathroom for my van, excluding the plumbing, I would say it took somewhere around 8 days at eight hours per day. That’s with all the included help I had.
